The set comes with the provocative elements that bring the additional humor to the show. For a family to have that dark and weird lifestyle, it’s not easy to lay-out the set in my opinion. What may seem dark to one may mean a totally different thing to someone else. Balance for dark  humor and zany comedy? It’s not something you always get from a musical play.  The Addams Family deliver those with heaps of pure entertainment.
Meet my long lost Grandmother, haha! With Amanda Bruton, she’s adorable; wacky and always hyper 🙂
Grandma Addams (middle) played by stage actress Amanda Bruton ; you bet she is unrecognizable without the shawl and after she has removed that gray frizzy wig/hair!)
I call this tiny little gate the door to reincarnation! Â This is where the ancestors made their entrance when Uncle Fester called from the dead to join in the yearly family tradition of honoring the cycle of life and death.
 Gomez Addams asks Mal Beineke to sit here for a question and answer game in which Mal answered with: “Uhm, maybe next time.”  HAHA!
The Torture Chair
The Addams Family Dinner Table. Can you spot the human rib cage there?
The Uncle Fester signature pose, so effortless! Look at those deep sunken creepy eyes.
Shaun Rice portrays (Uncle Fester) ; told you he’s cuddlesome and yes, bald but cute!)
Resorts World Sentosa Grand Festive Theater has no orchestral pit, so this is located  at the backstage.
I wonder if the casts had difficulty with this kind of set-up? What if they forgot their lyrics? I also noticed they did not have any prompter on stage. So it means, they’re just great. No room for mistakes for this show ; kudos to the cast… such hard work involved!
The backdrop was made to look like it’s 3D but upon closer look, they’re cardboards. Fabulous lighting works here.
 
The Addams Family is well loved all throughout these years, a lot of fun in the show yes, but the amount of talent between the writing , production staff and the entire cast is what makes it timeless and a yeah…a classic. It still has this captivating appeal despite of the changing of casts involved. The sets were used in such a clever way that it makes the story solid all throughout the show. The musical scoring of Andrew Lippa is totally brisk and as mentioned before, totally relatable. Be enchanted not just by the tangible love affair of Gomez and Morticia but how they were able to maintain a strong family knit all throughout these years.
Spend your weekend with The Addams Family ! They will be in Singapore until the 28th of July, tickets are still available.
